Re: Cutting Plastic

Took a quick look at the site; I think I'd want to see
that stuff before I bought it, but that's not what you
asked.

I imagine the referene to using a box cutter is
possibly a score & snap operation, similar to what
you'd do with plexiglass. Since it's corrugated, you
cut the one surface, bend it back and it either snaps
off or breaks & lets you cut the back part.

Contact them and find out.
